Nursing Home Communities in Middletown, CT

"Pomperaug Woods was very nice and very friendly, but they were a little bit expensive. It was independent living, but they also have assisted living. The staff was very good. They have artists, composers, and very highly intelligent people living there. They have a varied program of things. A resident moved their own grand piano in there and would practice the piano during the day. It was all interactive. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. They went out of their way to explain all about the people that were living there, the artwork hanging on the wall, and what artists did it. The facility was very nice. It's all one level. They have an outdoor court, and when it's nice weather, they hold all the concerts out there. They had the Blue River Jazz Band there. It's top-notch entertainment."

"With this website, I have learned about the elderly and how the system really works with and sometimes against them. Currently I have an aunt in a nursing home facility and it seems its working well for her and our family at this time. "

"I thought Apple Rehab Middletown was clean and well-managed. The rooms are very nice, everybody seems to be up and about, active, and they get everybody ready for the day. They have routines. They have mainly physical therapy. They offer all three meals. They’re all compassionate people."

"My mom has been in Portland Care & Rehabilitation Center. I really like it because she was in another rehab facility a couple of years ago, and it was horrible, and the staff is very caring here and they are treating her so well. She has therapy twice a day in the morning, and then in the afternoon OT and PT. They have a weekly schedule of bingo, cards, games, trivia, and all those kinds of things. Tomorrow, she said they're going to have mass and the stations of the cross, which is very important to her. They do the rosary every other week and she's a religious person, so that's important to her. The staff is very nice. When she pushes that call button, they're there, whereas at the other place, she waited half an hour before somebody got there. It's a smaller place, and the staff seems very, very attentive. They're very friendly. Everybody from the cleaning people, to the nurses, to PT, to the aides, everyone is very friendly, they treat my mom like a queen. Every day, the cleaning lady comes in and wipes everything down, like the floors and all the surfaces. It's very clean. It could use a tiny bit of updating, the furniture is little bit old, but I'd rather have older furniture and go to help than it being fancy and lousy help. My mom said the food is fair. They seem to have a lot of activities. They went outside and she was happy with that. They have stuff but she doesn't go to some of it because she is tired in the afternoon. Insurance is paying, so it's worth it to me."

"We (family) are grateful to this nursing home. They have been very attentive to our request for my sisters care by providing information on her well being, assist with requesting special medical apparatus for her rehabilitation and other medical needs. "

"I was at Autumn Lake Healthcare at Cromwell's rehab for one week. I was an unhappy camper. I think nobody likes rehab because it's uncomfortable, and they have uncomfortable beds and crappy food, but they were perfectly nice here. I just wanted to go home. The staff members were good. They were all very pleasant. I was lucky that my room was private. It was a little bit homey and wasn't that institutional. I was there to do rehab every day as they were trying to get my strength back. That was the whole purpose of it. I had physical therapy every day; they brought me down to the gym for that, and they did a great job. I think they showed movies and had events that went on during the week, too, but it was not my cup of tea, so I didn't go."

"We looked at Connecticut Baptist Homes. We're on the waiting list for my mom. It was very clean. The residents looked as if they were well cared for. It was staffed well. It was easy to get off the highway to visit. The activities seemed like they were interesting for the patients. The person who took us around was very informative and caring. They have patios to sit outside. They have different grades of care that they offer. They have a little bit of extensive care, and then they have care when you don't need as much, but you still need to be there for safety reasons. You have to be a little bit more independent to go to one of the floors. Each floor had their own kitchen where you could make things for yourself, and there was like a kitchen for snacks and stuff, so they have something where you can get something to eat when it's not mealtime."

"My dad was there recovering from cancer surgery Staff was wonderfull and facility was very clean I was very pleased with the care and services Everyone went out of their way to be helpful I would highly recommend "

"We had an amazing experience at Complete Care Meriden. The room was brand new and very clean. The staff went over and above to make sure my mother was clean and comfortable. They made us feel like family. The staff made sure my mother was included in all the activities when she was able. I would highly recommend this facility! Great care givers and nice rooms. I felt very comfortable having my mother stay there."

"It is now Meriden Health and Rehab. Its dirty falling apart. Cant get any real employees the get staff from a pool they dont care and sit in the break room mostly. Sad when .residents need things for health care they always say we cant we cant that.. staff rarely calls you back. Dont send anyone there."

"Ledgecrest Health Care is old, but the staff is outstanding. I like the people the most. They do activities mostly during the day. Overall, they've been great."

"I toured The Bradley Home and Pavilion and I had to call the person who gave the tour to find out if I got in, but there was really no response. She was rude to me, she could have called me to tell me that I didn't get in. They clean the rooms and feed the residents, so if I had been there I would only need assistance with laundry. It's an independent living community for 65 and older. The place seems nice and I really liked it, I really wanted to get in. I saw a single room with your own bath, it was really nice. I saw one resident doing some weaving, they had things like crochet and knitting where they provide you yarn, they have a pool room, and so on."

"I was nervous to have my father go to rehab during this pandemic but I couldn't help him at home. The COVID caution and rehab care he received at Apple Rehab Rocky Hill was really much better then expected and helped my feel better about his safety. The first 10 days I was allowed to see my father on video chats. I got too meet his care takers and see that he was happy. After his quarantine period I was finally allowed to see him and he had already made so much improvement. I was so impressed with his therapy. I think he even had a little crush on one of the staff :). Thank you Apple Rehab!"

"Both my grandparents stayed at this facility together in the same room. My grandmother was ill, my grandfather paid "rent" to stay with her so they could be together. The staff that I met were attentive, kind and friendly. They made conversation with my grandparents and seemed to genuinely enjoy meeting me and their other visitors. The amenities seemed appropriate for the type of facility. The dining room was impressive looking and inviting - decorative in a way that helped the patients feel as though they were at home vs. eating in a dining hall. The facility was easy to access. Parking was sufficient. The building didn't have that hospital smell that I expected even though I visited during dinner time. The building and my grandparents' room was clean, modern, and the decor was simple yet comfortable. I know that my grandparents enjoyed staying here. They said the nursing staff was exceptional. Each time they go back, the staff remembers them which helps them to feel at ease during the transition back into the facility. "
